Since the Star Wars: Episode 8 gone under production, the rumors don't seem to stop circulating. One of the latest indicates that the next film will explore Kylo Ren and Rey's interesting relationship.

Director-Producer JJ Abrams has hinted on a special connection between Rey and antagonist Kylo Ren. During an audio commentary of Star Wars: The Force Awakens' collector's edition blu-ray version JJ Abrams said, "One of the new relationships that we were focusing on was between Kylo Ren and Rey. They've never met but he's heard of this girl. And so, now comes a moment when their meeting is inevitable."

"And now we're back to our heroine. And this moment where she is about to, for the first time, be confronted by Kylo Ren, a character who she's going to have a very interesting relationship with moving forward," Abrams added saying as reported by Star Wars News.

The relation between Kylo Ren and Rey will be further explored in Star Wars: Episode 8 and 9. The Force awakens established their relationship after they met for the first time first time in the forest.

So, what relation this could be? Did they know each other from childhood friends or maybe Rey is related to Ren? Only time will tell.

As International Business Times suggests, after watching The Force Awakens, viewers' thought Rey might have known Kylo Ren before Episode 7 because of her vision of Ren. But JJ Abrams debunked the possibility of them meeting before in his commentary.

Another anticipated moment audience has been waiting for is the reveal of Rey's parents. This question could potentially be answered in Star Wars: Episode 8.

As per BBC, when asked if Rey's father is Han Solo, actress Daisy Ridley said that viewers' should keep this question in mind because it will be reveled in a year.

Star Wars: Episode 8 is scheduled to hit theaters on December 15, 2017.
